It's a tough one. I can find lots of images of his later cars but not that one.

Hi Sandy, - 'not a Bananarama! with Mopar blinkers on' 
I agree with Dunc'. Mopar were making some ugly cars in the early - mid 60's. Really, the 64/65/66 Barracudas were nowhere near as good to look at as the 64/65/66 Mustang. I understand Ford sold over a million mustangs in that period. I'm not surprised.
In fact, I've just bought a 65 Mustang to resto-mod. Would I have considered a 65 Barracuda instead? Err.. No.
I reckon the early Barracudas are ugly, and of course there's nothing to beat the 62 Dodge and Plymouth B Bodies for ugly! The 62 Dodge looks like a plucked chicken, and the 62 Plymouth looks like a Remington shaver. How Mopar got away with it I'll never know. They must have had a meeting discussing various designs and decided to produce some butt ugly cars! Why?
But where would we be without them? These cars are so ugly they're beautiful - especially the 62 Plymouth. I just love 'em (but I don't want to own one).

Don't go there Sandy..... Coronet has much nicer lines! Like comparing Maralyn Munroe with Olive (on the buses)!
